Scary moment for NASCAR racer Bubba Wallace shortly after today’s Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
It was a hot one in Atlanta today, and it appears as though Bubba might have been suffering from some heat exhaustion/dehydration after the race.
According to Yahoo Sports, Bubba fell to the ground after he got out of his car, and then appeared to pass out once again mid-interview with Fox’s Jamie Little.
He was given medical attention and appears to be doing ok, however it was definitely a scary moment for sure. If nothing else, it reminds you just how much these drivers put themselves through.
We’ll definitely keep an eye out for any more news and update as needed.
Bubba, who is the only black driver in NASCAR, also donned an “I Can’t Breathe” t-shirt before the race which also featured a word from NASCAR President Steve Phelps on racial injustice, followed by a 30-second moment of silence.
Many race fans took to Twitter wish Bubba well, however some of them also expressed concern for Ryan Newman who appeared to be in rough shape as well.
